Ecclesiastes 7:8-14

8Better is the endH319 of a thingH1697 than its beginning; betterH2896 is a patient spiritH7307 than a proud spiritH7307.

9Be not hasty in thy spiritH7307 to be vexed; for vexation resteth in the bosomH2436 of foolsH3684.

10SayH559 not, HowH4100 is it that the formerH7223 daysH3117 wereH1961 betterH2896 than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.

11WisdomH2451 is as goodH2896 as an inheritanceH5159, and profitable to them that seeH7200 the sunH8121.

12For wisdomH2451 is a defence [as] moneyH3701 is a defence; but the excellency of knowledgeH1847 is, [that] wisdomH2451 maketh them that possess it to liveH2421.

13ConsiderH7200 the workH4639 of 1GodH430; for who can make straight what he hath made crooked?

14In the dayH3117 of prosperity enjoy goodH2896, and in the dayH3117 of adversity considerH7200: 2GodH430 hath alsoH1571 set the oneH2088 beside the other, to the end that manH120 should findH4672 out nothing [of what shall beH1961] after him.
